Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Pandey has since been a vital cog for the Karnataka domestic side. A flamboyant stroke maker in the middle-order, Pandey rose through the ranks after starting off with Mysore in a state-level tournament. He was later scouted to play for the India Under-19 team in 2008 under Virat Kohli. He wasn’t particularly impressive in India’s victorious U-19 campaign.
Nevertheless, he fast established himself with his swift batting and his breathtaking fielding in domestic cricket, proving that he was no one-match wonder. He had a breakthrough Ranji season in 2009-10 with 882 runs, ending up as the highest run-getter including four 100s and five 50s at an average of 63, showcasing his consistency and appetite for runs. He had a memorable, albeit heart-breaking end to the season, when he fell agonisingly short of taking Karnataka to victory over Mumbai in the final of the Ranji Trophy. His exemplary 144 in the fourth innings, though, was soaked in grit and character and was etched in the memory of the selectors even though Karnataka fell short by 6 runs to lose a final for the ages.
Pandey had a match in which he could not be kept out of the action, and put on a one-man show as only one other batsman managed to cross the 50-run mark. In addition, Pandey took a breathtaking catch to dismiss Abhishek Nayar - one that went viral on social media. It was a vital wicket in the context of the game and certainly made the selectors sit up and take notice of a young man who had exhibited impressive big-match temperament. An India call-up seemed imminent.
He was subsequently picked in the Board President's XI to play against a touring South African side in early 2010, scoring a fluent 43, but fell out of the national radar for a while after that. Pandey was back to his domestic antics in the 2013-14 Ranji season and became the second highest run-getter for his side.
Pandey's role model is Rahul Dravid, and the youngster has gone on record saying that he feels much indebted and inspired by the senior batsman. Pandey's batting though, contains more strokes and flamboyance, his trademark shot being the swat-flick, which he uses to good effect to while slogging as well as whilst rotating the strike.
Alas, with the 2015 Cricket World Cup came round the corner and with a settled batting order, India resisted the temptation of trying out new players and decided not to tinker with the combination, leaving fringe players like Manish Pandey out of contention.
However, after India’s unsuccessful title defence, India started to test their bench-strength, and Manish was handed a debut during the ODI tour of Zimbabwe in mid-2015. He grabbed his opportunity with both hands, scoring 71 in his maiden innings. Nevertheless, his match-winning 104* against Australia at the (SCG) in January 2016 brought him into the limelight. He made the world sit up and take notice of him; he had made a statement that he had the temperament for the big stage, even at the international level.
Manish once again had a lean patch against New Zealand in October 2016, but was named in the 15-man squad for the Champions Trophy in June 2017, in a show of faith by the selectors. However, as fate would have it, he injured himself during the IPL and regrettably missed out on his first ICC event for India. However, the selectors persisted with him and a good tour of South Africa with the 'A' team ensured that he was back in their plans - when the squad for the ODI series in Sri Lanka was announced.
Pandey fast established himself as a reliable stroke-maker in the middle-order but continued to struggle to break into the Indian team. Disappointment awaited at the 2019 World Cup as well with him being left out of the squad. However, he continued to be a mainstay for Karnataka across formats and has also captained them on occasion.
He was recalled to the national setup for a series against Sri Lanka in 2021 but he was part of a side that was primarily made up of fringe players with of the regulars being rested.
IPL through the years
Manish Pandey plays the role of a floater in the IPL, a batter who is adaptable across the top- and middle-order in terms of batting. He was first picked for the Mumbai Indians in the inaugural season of the IPL and had a rather quiet season with the bat, and was eventually released by the franchise and signed by the Royal Challengers Bangalore for the 2009 season. It is for the RCB, that Pandey created history, scoring the first IPL hundred by an Indian in the 2009 edition of the league in South Africa. He was retained by the franchise by the 2010 season, but was released in the next season after he failed to turn out any performances of note. After three quiet seasons with the wildly unsuccessful franchise, Pune Warriors India, Manish Pandey was picked up by the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2014, and he picked the perfect time to dish out a match-winning innings - the final of the tournament. He scored 94 in the final to trump Wriddhiman Saha's hundred, beating the Punjab franchise and helping them coast to their maiden title.
Thereafter though, Pandey once again struggled for consistency and he was released by the Knight Riders in 2018, before being signed by the Sunrisers. He had a torrid season with the bat in 2018, but the franchise showed trust in him going into the 2019 season and he had decent returns that continued through to the next year as well. 2021 saw Pandey slowly being pushed out of the side by upcoming talent as he featured in just 8 of his side’s 14 matches and 2022 saw Pandey’s performance dip to all-time lows. In the 6 games he played, Pandey scored just 88 runs at an average of 14.67 - prompting SRH to first drop him from the XI before going on to release him from the side. He was picked up by the Delhi Capitals for INR 2.4 crore in the 2023 IPL Auction.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Manish Pandey will always be remembered as the first Indian to score a century in the IPL. In one night, the 19-year-old went from being Karnataka's next big Ranji hope to entering the record books as he hit his way to the highest Twenty20 score by an Indian. That century also meant he would not have to carry out his intention of following his father into the army if he did not make it as a professional cricketer.
But his barnstorming start did not immediately translate into an India call-up and Pandey continued to work his way up in the domestic circuit. His growth as an aggressive middle-order batsman and an athletic fielder coincided with Karnataka's rise as undisputed leaders of the domestic arena in a period that saw them complete the double treble. In July 2015, six years after that smash-mouth IPL hundred in Centurion, Pandey made his international debut in Harare.
Pandey's breakout international innings, however, came six months later in Sydney. In January 2016, his unbeaten maiden ODI century helped India gun down Australia's 330 with two balls to spare and prevent a whitewash. While Pandey was not included in any of the T20 competitions India played in the lead-up to the World T20, he was brought in to replace an injured Yuvraj Singh in the semi-final against West Indies, where Pandey did not bat.
